He also implemented the basic combat mechanics of Remote Raiders through glorious state machines. When not programming or wrestling with Unity networking, Matt enjoys playing video games, drawing, and partaking of the anime. He loves to challenge himself with combat-oriented games that are notoriously difficult.Indeed, his true passion in games is the often overlooked combat mechanics.

Michael

Michael Irizarry is a Computer Scientist from Lancaster, Pennsylvania – home of the Amish. He is not Amish, however. Though he does have quite a large beard. His love for facial hair is only rivaled by his love for video games. Throughout the years many games have been conquered by Michael Irizarry. Many consider him to be a gentle giant, so if you don’t see him in front of his latest gaming console or PC, then he is probably either sleeping or contemplating the purpose of life – though he has already found one in Church. He hopes to bring his programming expertise into Remote Raiders, to make the game the best that it can be.

Vincent

Vincent Engard is a Computer Science Major with a Concentration in Game Design and Development. He grew up in small town in Pennsylvania, fascinated with adventuring, exploring, and other worlds.
